Renowned activist and leader of a socio-political and pro-democracy group, Razaq Kolade Olokoba (RKO) Political Network Group has thrown his weight behind the Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola (SAN), on his assertion that, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu should continue in office for a second term.<\/p>\n
Olokoba, in a chat with newsmen in Lagos Friday was reacting to the statement credited to the Minister in which he was quoted to have said the duty of a governor is beyond a mere camera man\u2019s capability without requisite leadership experience garnered under the tutelage of a master, saying \u201cFashola\u2019s verdict has been in tandem with our stand all along that has gone beyond what a nonstarter would come to use as trial and error experiment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The youthful Chartered Public Administrator (CPA), and member of the Nigeria Institute of Management (MNIM), seized the opportunity of the encounter to re-distribute his earlier statement where he vehemently cautioned other governorship aspirants\/candidates in the state to test their luck sometimes in the future and not in the coming March 11, 2023.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The Report goes thus:<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cRenowned activist and Convener of the Network, Comrade Razaq Olokoba, in a chat with press men in Lagos Wednesday morning stated that, \u201cthe admonition is imperative in view of the superlative performance of the incumbent governor, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu,\u201d saying, \u201cit is better their focus is shifted to other project than wasting precious time, energy and hard earned resources on a fruitless venture that is dead before arrival.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cOlokoba, while reasoning that, \u201cno reasonable coach would change a winning team half way into a crucial game,\u201d was of the conviction that, \u201cthe good people of Lagos State are still very much in love with Sanwo-Olu\u2019s administration so much that are yearning for more dividends of democracy from him,\u201d wondering how any reasonable person or group of person would toy with the idea of asking them to jettison a certainty for uncertainty!<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cSpeaking further, the respected political analyst and vocal social commentator disclosed that, \u201can unprecedented mega rally that will shake the state to its very foundation is on the way to solicit support for Sanwo-Olu and his team of performers,\u201d assuring that, \u201cour support for him is solid while our loyalty to him and his administration is certain.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe activist, who is also the National President and Convener of the Campaign for Dignity in Governance (CDG), revealed that, \u201cthorough grassroots mobilization has commenced in all the 20 Local Governments and 37 Local Council Development Areas (LCDA), with the sole aim of galvanizing support for Governor Sanwo-Olu,\u201d expressing the confidence that, \u201cthe massive support that would translate to an overwhelming victory for Sanwo-Olu woul be the first of its kind in the electoral history of Lagos State.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cHe therefore expressed the delights that, \u201ceverywhere we touch, the acceptance of Sanwo-Olu\u2019s second term in office has been heart-warming, encouraging and overwhelming,\u201d assuring however that, \u201ceven with that, we will not relent on our oars as we intensify the mobilization project tirelessly.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAgainst this backdrop, Olokoba, who also doubles as the Convener of over 70 Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), therefore urged every lover of good governance and dividends of democracy to team up with the mobilization train moving around so as be part of the beneficial projects for all and sundry.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Renowned activist and leader of a
